First ever Ultra, Mist elven weaponsmith (Tree)
First off, the fact that every shopkeeper ever hates you is tedious :P
So, as you might have noticed from the other forum, my computer died, and while I was able to find my backup, my notes are still somewhere, so we have to do this from memory.
chose to make a mistelven weapon smith, was trying to get most of the good skills, but planned on making this a plant hater run, because it was so close last time.
Killed a beggar, because I was trying for ultra
Him starting with an elven chainmail was a big plus, and one of the earliest thins I did after saving the carpenter for healing was find a forge on ud7.
Now I dint' actually mine anything, so basically only melted down items I found etc for forging, and melting down some ingots I improved the chainmail to +8, +11.
Also found a shield pretty early on, with a sword of sharpness for the killing (which rusted a couple of times, but was the best I had for a long time.
Didn't find any helmet to use before I was about lvl 30, and boots even later.
first really good RNG was finding a ring shop at D11, containing a ring of djinn summoning, which I promptly robbed with an invisibility potion, and saved khelly.
I found bracers of pure might pretty early, just can't remember where.
Dropped myself to chaotic with digging up graves in griffyard, starting with normal ones until I was low enough, and then trying my hand at the great treasure ones - master lich in first one, which I killed, lich king in next, which I decided to run from.
went to say hi to the eternal guardian and skeleton king (ring of levitation for the win), and I remember that I had changed to chaotic before checking in on the Ice queen, so had to wait until I had fed the ratling with the usual fodder, including mummy wrappings, because I had see invis in the bracers, and death save from some pool sipping, which didn't get me a wish though.
after taking the boar skull, which took forever in game time, because I never actually found any 7 league boots, I pumped myself to lawful, and tried to crown to get to use more artifacts, but didn't remeber I had to grind quite a lot to get to L+, and actually messed up, while going to kill the criminal lord, so dropped back to neutral after saccing 120k (from the merchants guild) to lawful XD
well put on the amulet of order, and walked around using that for a while, so that sorted itself out after a while.
Ice queen, water temple and the flames followed without anything odd as I recall.
found some dragon scale mails in the casino, and the amulet of indomitable life, which in the end I decided to murder the shopkeeper for - used the machines for the rest, but came back later to get the amulet, and just could not carry the 2,7M the shopkeeper was intent on having for it XD
Gambled some 200k and got crowned with the protector, which I used for a while, but amulet, bracers and fire orb was the 3 I used for longer.
on D44 I found a greater fire vault with 10 greater fire wyrms, and I was 30 I think at the time, used up 13 blessed potions of booze on a wand of cold, and managed to level to 32 for fire= from the ancient dragons, after which I had to kill on of the wyrms manually, because I ran out of all and any cold charges, and it was hard.
Got nature's protector and the black whip of killing everything from that vault, and didn't need to save the blue dragon mail for the caves any more.
and almost 10 levels - i think I was 39 after that ordeal.
also got the +3 pv +3 le, ring of mental stability early on, and used it basically for the rest of the game.
found a helm of water breathing at lvl 39 or so, and headed to the water cave, to get the small trident, as I still had not really found a good weapon (used the whip for a while), and then decided to get the mana orb, and check how hard the blue dragons were - the fire wyrms hit hard, so I had my reservations.
got the trident by courier, while heading down, and started using it to train the skill up, and as it actually had good damage, and while wielding it I was still at something like 60 dv, 60 pv, I figured I can live with it.
The blue dragon were actually much easier than I thought, including mister purple W, whom I just meleed down, because he could not really wound me.
I left basically my whole pile of gear upstairs, only taking high metal things and artifacts, so no archery for me - although picked up a crossbow and some bolts while in the caves.
so with the dagger in hand, I headed to the assassins guild, and took my 1 different quarrels of can't miss, what ever it was called, and shit filk down.
the emperor moloch was next , and he died in about 5 hits from an eternium battleaxe of penetration.
during this time I had tried to enter the stone circle, but messed the timing up or something, so it didn't work - actually about half of the in game time was spent running around in the wilderness to move the clock forward to the next window, which I somehow failed 3 times before making it happen - had been lvl 50 for some time at that point.
Then picked up all the stuff, including 3 potions of cure corruption, and 7 scrolls - had had like 3 mutations at this time - that appearance 30+ really does wonders...
also with all the gear and potions, my toughness of 35 (+10) felt very robust for a mist elf :P
headed down with the trident, and summoned 3 greater earth elementals to help me clear the bottom floor, which I did in melee, including all the balors, had about +80, +80 defenses at the time in aggressive, so nothing really touched me out side of the balor boss, but he died fast too, so not to worry.
entered the portal, drank all the boost potions I had with me and got my speed to about 300, tried to shoot andy, but he summoned chaos masses, and stood in a wall, and for some reason I thought that my ranged attack missed because of that, so I promptly went and berserked him down with the trident and 3 extra healing potions, stopping to read one or two scrolls to get rid of the stiffness I got almost right away.
Had to wear the amulet of free action with two rings of stability, which was enough iron to damage 1 point per turn - had only a couple of pools left in the game, and did not want to risk loosing some of the other good stuff to try and get para res from a pool, so 10 to less that I could have had XD
